The original owner's mother had a close friend, and the two had a very good relationship. After they got married, their family backgrounds were similar. They gave birth to children in the same year, which happened to be a boy and a girl, so they were engaged.

However, not long after, the original owner's father was demoted again and again and became a ninth-rank official because he stood on the wrong side when the princes were fighting for the throne.

However, the He family, to which the original owner was engaged, was completely the opposite. They rose again and again, and He's father became a third-rank official and a senior official in the court. He Chen, who was engaged to the original owner as a child, became the prince's companion and had a bright future.

The He family did not hesitate to cancel the marriage between the two families. When Xu's father asked about it, He's father agreed directly, saying that he was a man who kept his promises.

So, the original owner married He Chen smoothly, but was ignored on the wedding night. He Chen got drunk and went to the study, becoming a laughing stock in the whole mansion.

The next day, she was intimidated by her mother-in-law and ridiculed by her sister-in-law, who said that the original owner had no self-awareness and insisted on coming over even though she knew she was not worthy of He Chen.

The three-day visit saw the original owner also alone. He Chen had something urgent to do and could not go.

The slightest sign of trouble…

The servants of the He family also followed suit. Although they did not scold the original owner or show displeasure to her, they did not listen to her orders. The food the kitchen gave to the original owner was the worst among all the masters, as was the rouge, powder, various clothes, and jewelry.

Moreover, less than three months after the original owner got married, the original owner's mother-in-law Lin Qinzhi stuffed people into He Chen's backyard, one of whom was He Chen's cousin Lin Qiushuang.

Lin Qiu Shuang relied on her aunt's support and acted domineeringly. She didn't listen to the original owner, talked back to the original owner, and looked at the original owner in a bad light. After giving birth to a child, she even wanted the child to be registered under the original owner's name.

The original owner disagreed. It was not like she was unable to have children, so Lin Qiu Shuang got angry and directly poisoned the original owner. Not long after, the original owner died.

After the original owner died, He Chen remembered the original owner's kindness, their childhood sweetheart friendship, and her gentleness and virtue. He Chen blamed Lin Qiushuang and wanted to kill her, but Lin Qinzhi stopped him. In the end, he didn't do anything to Lin Qiushuang.

He even threatened to commit suicide, forcing He Chen to make Lin Qiushuang his legal wife.

What could He Chen do? He could only agree. Even though he didn't love Lin Qiu Shuang, he still let her share his glory and become a royal lady.

Lin Qiu Shuang hated the original owner even more for this, and whipped his corpse, crushed his bones and scattered his ashes. None of the original owner's family members had a good ending either.

……

……

"Xu Jinhuan, I'm giving you face by placing the child under your name. Please don't be ungrateful." Lin Qiu Shuang said arrogantly while holding a big belly.

Xu Jinhuan looked at her belly, thoughtfully.

Lin Qiu Shuang noticed this, took a few steps back, covered her stomach, and looked at Xu Jin Huan with a vigilant face, "If you dare to do anything to my stomach, I will let my cousin divorce you."

Xu Jin laughed, "How could I?"

How can doing bad things be justified?

Of course, we have to poke it secretly!

then……

midnight.

Lin Qiushuang, who was sleeping soundly, felt as if a piece of iron sand had grasped her jaw, pried open her mouth, and forced bitter medicine into her mouth.

She didn't want to swallow it, but her mouth was forced shut and she gulped down the bitter medicine.

The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and broke out in a cold sweat. However, the person who had given her the medicine had not left yet, so she did not dare to scream. She could only endure the pain and said, "Let me go, and you can take whatever you want."

At last……

Xu Jinhuan looted Lin Qiushuang's boudoir and then left as light as a swallow.

Lin Qiu Shuang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the people left, and quickly shouted, "Help, help! Someone wants to kill the baby in my belly."

When the maid heard the sound, she hurried to Lin Qiu Shuang's boudoir, lit the light, and saw Lin Qiu Shuang holding her stomach and tossing and turning, crying out in pain, and there was a large pool of blood on the bed.

She was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Someone, go get a doctor! Aunt Lin is in trouble."

The doctor came quickly, and after a quick look, he knew that the situation was not good. He said to He Chen who rushed over in a hurry: "The child cannot be saved. If we delay any further, the adult will be in danger too."

"No! My child!" Lin Qiu Shuang howled in pain.

He Chen's face was gloomy. "Master Bao, housekeeper, Feng Mansion, we must catch the murderer."

The housekeeper nodded his head and agreed, then started to work.

Main courtyard.

Xu Jinhuan was also woken up. She yawned and asked sleepily, "What happened? It's the middle of the night."

Bai Lu, the personal maid, gloated, "Something happened to Aunt Lin. The baby in her belly was killed. Now the whole mansion is trying to find the murderer."

Xu Jinhuan was surprised, "How could this happen?"

Bai Lu shook her head and guessed, "Maybe Aunt Lin offended someone. After all, she is too arrogant and domineering."

Their young lady is the principal wife, but Aunt Lin has no respect for her at all. She often fails to come to pay her respects and gets angry with her young lady.

This time, he even wanted to register the baby in his belly under the name of the young lady and raise him as the eldest son.

Now that the child is gone, it’s what he deserves!

Xu Jinhuan looked at the gloating expression on Bai Lu's face and reminded her, "Cover up when you are outside and don't show your watch."

At least we have to wait until she takes down the He family.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. I only act like this in front of the young lady."

"Miss, I'll go find out what's going on."

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand: "Go ahead! Be careful, or others will take advantage of you."

Bai Lu sneaked into Jianjia Courtyard, grabbed a little maid she had helped, and pretended to be concerned and asked, "How is your aunt? Is the child okay?"

The little maid shook her head, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The child is gone, and her body is injured. She can never have children again. Now she is angry with the eldest master, asking him to catch the murderer and cut him into pieces."

Bai Lu sighed and said worriedly, "How could something like this happen?"

The little maid also nodded in agreement. No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen.

Bai Lu went back with a worried look on her face and told her mistress about this.

Xu Jinhuan showed a compassionate expression, "Yeah, how could this happen?"

After a while, the nanny beside Lin Qinzhi came and asked her to go to Jianjiayuan.

Bai Lu frowned and said, "Madam, I will go with you."

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand: "You don't have to go, I'll go alone."

Knowing that the person coming had bad intentions, there was no need to let Bai Lu suffer with her.

Bai Lu watched her young lady leave with a worried look on her face.

As soon as Xu Jinhuan arrived at Jianjia Courtyard, she met Lin Qinzhi's cold eyes. She slammed the table and asked sternly, "How do you manage the backyard? Something can happen when you are alone in your room."

Xu Jinhuan looked innocent, "When have I ever been in charge of the backyard? Hasn't Aunt Lin always been in charge of the backyard? This was specifically instructed by you, mother-in-law."

Lin Qinzhi's heart sank, and she glared at her, "You are so sharp-tongued, tell me, is it because Qiu Shuang wanted to register the child under your name that you bribed someone to do this to her?"

Otherwise, Qiu Shuang lived deep in the backyard, who could she offend?

Lin Qiu Shuang heard this and burst into tears. She cried to He Chen, "Master, did you hear that? It was Madam who caused me to suffer. Wasn't it because she couldn't have children that I registered the child under her name?"

"How do you know I can't have children?" Xu Jinhuan stared at her with eyes as sharp as knives.

Lin Qiu Shuang subconsciously looked at her aunt, and was glared at by her aunt before she lowered her head and sobbed, "You and your cousin have been married for half a year, and you haven't shown any signs of pregnancy. If not infertility, what is it?"

In fact, it was her aunt who told her that she had given Xu Jinhuan a contraceptive drug when he first came home.

Because she was jealous of Xu Jinhuan's mother and hated Xu Jinhuan's ignorance of the current situation.

Therefore, as soon as she became pregnant, she thought about registering the child under Xu Jinhuan's name, so that the child would become the eldest son of the He family in a legitimate way, and would be trained as the heir of the He family and inherit the He family's property and connections.

Instead of being a bastard who can be sent away with some property.

But she didn't expect Xu Jinhuan to be ungrateful and unwilling. Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Jinhuan with resentment.

Xu Jinhuan: "I suspect someone has poisoned me. I want to ask a doctor to come and take a look at me."

Lin Qinzhi said coldly: "Don't believe everything you hear. Who would poison you?"

Xu Jinhuan snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true. After all, your family doesn't welcome me and hates me. It's not without reason that you poisoned me."

No wonder in the original plot, the original owner never got pregnant. It turned out that she was poisoned.

This family is so cruel that they bully a weak woman.

She glanced at Lin Qinzhi and her son, as well as Lin Qiushuang, as if they were the ones who wouldn't poison someone.

Lin Qinzhi felt uncomfortable with this look, and she scolded: "What kind of look is that? I am your elder, and I don't know how your mother taught you."

She has hated Meng Qingliu since she was a child. Why are they all girls, but she can study with her brothers and marry whoever she wants?

She could only obey her parents' arrangements and marry a man she didn't like.

Now that her daughter is under her care, she has to teach her well.

Let her know what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are and how to be a good wife?

He Chen also frowned and said coldly: "You are my wife. Even if the housekeeping power is not in your hands, you should still take care of it instead of not caring about anything. Otherwise, why would I marry you? Just for show?"

When Lin Qiushuang saw Xu Jinhuan being scolded, the pain in her body didn't seem to be so severe, but she still lowered her head and sobbed for her unborn child.

Xu Jinhuan was scolded for no reason and immediately became unhappy. He pointed at He Chen's nose and scolded: "You are an official after all. Don't you know the saying "do your job well"? I have no power at all. No one in your He family treats me as your wife. How can I manage them? Do I have to flatter them and make them obey me?"

"Ugh!" Xu Jinhuan spat at He Chen, "You're so disgusting. Marrying you is such bad luck. If you didn't want to marry me, you should have told me earlier. You acted like I was willing to marry you."

He Chen was nauseated. He took the handkerchief from the maid and wiped himself several times, but he still felt nauseous. He shouted, "Water, prepare some water for me. I need to wash up."

Lin Qinzhi was also shocked. What kind of lady from a noble family would be like this? She pointed at Xu Jinhuan and said angrily, "Kneel down!"

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan was unmoved, she became even angrier and ordered the maids above: "Make her kneel down."

The maid came over and tried to force Xu Jinhuan to kneel down, but Xu Jinhuan refused to kneel. She said, "If I kneel down today, everyone in the early morning will know that your husband embezzled relief grain and caused 30,000 people in Qingnan to starve to death..."

Lin Qinzhi's face changed drastically, and she said sternly: "Shut up!"

She looked at the servants in the yard and saw that they were silent. She was still not satisfied and warned them: "If what happened today gets out, I will let your whole family be buried with you."

She looked at Xu Jinhuan and said in a bad tone: "Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Jin laughed, "I know more, such as why your third brother did so well in the exam this time?"

Lin Qinzhi glared at Xu Jinhuan fiercely, wishing she could tear her mouth apart.

But she was very confused. Even Chen'er didn't know these things, so how could she know?

He Chen also frowned and looked at Xu Jinhuan with sharp eyes.

He didn't know these things, so how could his wife, who was isolated by the whole family, know?

He said: "There is nothing for you to do here, go back first!"

So as to avoid telling any secrets.

But I have already made a plan in my mind.

This wife cannot be kept.

And there are people in the yard.

He gave Lin Qinzhi a look.

Lin Qinzhi understood immediately and she sighed softly.

It's not her fault.

Blame it on her for knowing too much.

A few days later.

Xu Jinhuan realized that the ingredients she had added to her food would make her body weaker and weaker, and she would die of illness within a month.

Really love drugging! She originally wanted to wait for Lin Qiu Shuang to drug her and then give it to the He family.

Now we have no choice but to change our strategy.

That night.

Xu Jinhuan drugged all the masters of the He family, and she herself also took a drug to fake her death.

Anyway, everyone in the He family has killed people, and no one is innocent.

Early the next morning.

The servants realized something was wrong and reported the case in panic. Since the case involved the powerful prime minister, multiple departments were involved and the investigation was very thorough.

After all, the prime minister has many followers, and if they are not handled properly, it will be bad for the reputation of the current emperor.

Moreover, all of Prime Minister He’s family members died overnight. Who among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital would not be afraid?

However, after investigating for a long time, they still couldn't find out who killed Prime Minister He's entire family. Instead, in the secret compartment of Prime Minister He's study, they found evidence of Prime Minister He's corruption, abuse of power, and cheating in the imperial examinations. For a time, Prime Minister He's reputation was ruined.

Some people even threw vegetable leaves at the gate, cursing that the prime minister deserved to die!

Her mother's family had suffered a flood, and because court officials embezzled relief grain, her entire family starved to death, including her two-year-old nephew.

After this incident, no one buried the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the bodies were directly thrown into a mass grave.

As soon as he threw the thing away, Xu Jinhuan ran away without returning to the original owner's home.

The fewer people who know the secret that she is not dead, the better.

From now on...

Let her go to the ends of the earth.
